Xiao Yilin is relaxed and comfortable here, but at this time the capital Xuanwang's mansion is cloudy, since a few days ago, Xuanwang Xiao Yitai was assassinated near the capital and fell into a serious injury, after the doctors made every effort to treat it, it finally slowly improved, but after the leg was broken, it was difficult to move, and it has not been to the court.

Although the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the assassins, he had no clue at all. The Assassins came and went without a trace, leaving no clue at all.

Xiao Yitai lay on the bed and touched his injured leg, gritted his teeth and said to his henchman Wu Youqing, the head of the palace: "The person who assassinated me must have been sent by Xiao Yilin." The emperor's people are really useless, and they don't even have a clue. ”

Wu Youqing said: "Lord Wang, although King Jing is very suspicious, it cannot be ruled out that other people may take the opportunity to attack you. Recently, Duanwang and King Kang have made moves, and they are all very suspicious.

After all, Lord Wang, you will be rewarded by the Holy Lord after you return to Beijing for disaster relief, which is definitely not what King Duan and King Kang want to see. ”

Xiao Yitai snorted, "Those wolf sons are ambitious, they want me to die outside." ”

Xiao Yitai knows that now his brothers are grown up and full of wings, and they all covet the throne, and they can't wait for each other to live or die. Who sent someone to assassinate him, he had many suspicions.

Xiao Yitai is most afraid of Xiao Yilin, when he dies, he can rest assured.

Xiao Yitai asked, "Is there any news from King Jing?" ”

Wu Youqing said: "There is no news of the people we have planted in the Jingwang Mansion, and some time ago, the Jingwang Mansion vigorously purged other forces in the Huizhou Mansion, and the people we installed in the Huizhou Mansion have almost lost everything. Not only us, but several other people who were planted by the prince over there have also been a lot of confiscations.

Fortunately, two of us escaped the pursuit of King Jing's Mansion. They sent back the news that there seemed to be a major purge in King Jing's mansion, and the ladies in the backyard were all sent to other courtyards, and there was no way to know what happened to Concubine Lin.

There are no more of us in King Jing's mansion. Therefore, we have no way of knowing the specific situation inside King Jing. As for what is happening to King Jing now, I don't know. The Jingwang Mansion is very strict in blocking external information, and our people can't get any news. ”

Xiao Yitai frowned, "His body was already dead before, and he was successfully poisoned by Wu Fugui last time, so he shouldn't be alive, why hasn't there been news of his death?" ”

Wu Youqing said: "That means that Prince Jing is fine for the time being, but I don't think it's much better." ”

Xiao Yitai sneered, "Hmph, let him linger for a few more days." I don't believe how long his dilapidated body, which has been determined by all the imperial doctors, can last. You let our spies keep an eye on the Jingwang Mansion, and it would be better if you could insert more people into it.

The father and emperor just favored the fourth child, he became a wasted person, and gave him such a large fief. But we all have to stay in the capital, under the nose of our father. ”

Wu Youqing said: "Lord, when King Jing leaves the capital, he will also leave the center of power. Of course, the Holy One meant to protect him. But thinking about it from the other side, who will remember King Jing after a long time?

Even the saint's feelings for King Jing will gradually fade. Look at Concubine Shu, where can she still take care of her eldest son now, and only support her younger son. It is estimated that she doesn't even care about King Jing's life or death. ”

Xiao Yitai pouted and smiled, "Of course, Xiao Yilin can't bring her any benefits at all, so of course she won't bother thinking about it anymore." Now the eighth child is her treasure. She now hopes that the eighth child can be loved by her father and finally get the crown prince.

She didn't want to think about it, how could she let her father hand over the country to him with the qualifications of the eighth child. If he hadn't had his brother in front of him, he would have been nothing. Now those who jump up and down don't look at how many pounds and taels they have. ”

Wu Youqing said with a smile: "The more cheerful he dances, the more he will be disgusted by the saints." What the Holy Lord wants to see most now is that the princes are brothers and sisters, so you must let the Holy Lord see your humility and forbearance, and you can't be like before. ”

Xiao Yitai nodded, "You're right, I have to do enough to do it." There are several other palaces to keep an eye on. During the time I was injured, they moved frequently one by one, just to take the opportunity to win over the ministers of the court. We can't afford to be left behind. ”

In the palace Yongning Palace, Concubine Yan Bihua was having lunch with her youngest son, Rui Wang Xiao Yikun.

Yan Bihua wiped the corners of her mouth after eating and said, "Kun'er, how did you prepare for your father's ceremony?" Although you will only get married next year to marry the concubine, after all, you have now divided the government, and you are going to give your father a gift to the emperor. You can just mean the etiquette of the mother, but your father's can't be sloppy. ”

Because Xiao Yikun is Yan Bihua's youngest son, Yan Bihua has a preference for him, so Xiao Yikun can often get good things from his mother, and this year's festival he is raising some ideas from his mother.

"Mother, it's not like you don't know, I just went out of the house, how can I have any family background. I just want to prepare more gifts for my father, but I don't have the ability? ”

Yan Bihua didn't know her youngest son yet, she tapped her youngest son's forehead with her finger and said, "Look at what your fourth brother will send me this year, and I will pick some good ones for you when the time comes." ”

Xiao Yikun said: "It's hard to say whether my fourth brother can live this year or not, he still has the heart to prepare a Boxing gift for you." ”

Yan Bihua patted her youngest son, "Don't talk nonsense outside, let your father know that he will definitely reprimand you." Your father wants you brothers to be in harmony the most, and you have to pretend to be like me.

As long as your fourth brother doesn't die, he can't miss my courtesy. How am I also his biological mother. ”

Xiao Yikun said: "I heard that the eldest went to Huizhou Mansion to visit my fourth brother. I originally wanted to learn about my fourth brother's situation from him, but I didn't expect the boss to be assassinated before he arrived in the capital. I don't know who did it. My father ordered a thorough investigation and found nothing. ”

Yan Bihua said: "It doesn't matter who did it, it has nothing to do with us anyway." It is better to be able to find out who is behind the scenes. When the time comes, your father will never be spared. ”

Xiao Yikun said: "Some people suspect that my fourth brother instructed someone to do it. ”

Yan Bihua pursed her lips and laughed sarcastically when she heard this, "Your fourth brother will listen to your father, and if you want your brothers to be harmonious, can he do such a thing?" If he could do such a thing, he would not be stupidly calculated by others, and now he has ended up with a vicious disease and a wasted person.

Since ancient times, who was born in the emperor's family, how can there be any brotherly true feelings, and which person who has the opportunity to inherit the throne is not fighting to the death. At the beginning, your fourth brother had a meritorious service, and I asked him to fight for the position of the prince, but he didn't listen, but now it's good, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to fight.

You're going to have to give me a good breath and behave well in front of your father. Don't worry, your grandfather and uncle will also help you. ”

Xiao Yikun swore and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely fight for that seat for you." ”
